In the News - Sheesh!

An eight year old girl's intestines were damaged from eating Magnetix magnets and balls, and the parents want the toys taken off the shelves.
WHAT THE CRAP?
Their eight year old needs psychological help and/or vitamin deficiency testing. An eight year old?!! All the kids I know that age who are "normal" wouldn't swallow something like this (she had 30 pieces inside, so it's not like she was playing with one haphazardly in her mouth and accidentally swallowed). By this age they even know not to put something like that in their mouths because they might choke - they still might, but they would know better. 30 pieces though? Sheesh. We really like this learning toy and have had no problems with a 4 year old, 8 year old, and 11 year old, playing with them -other than leaving them all over the house. Maybe that's it - perhaps the parents forced her to eat them whenever they found them around the house? Once again, SHEESH.

Totally weird. Remember that one time when you had to get a bean or button out of my nose and I was totally old enough to know better? Speshtacular.
